Vantaggi

Opportunity to see first hand such a dysfunctional organization.

Svantaggi

Not honest in representation. Marketing Department petitioned staff to write favorable reviews on Glassdoor to offset the true reviews. This breach of integrity was shocking, especially their assumption that recommended actions were appropriate and that others would follow suit. Aside from the plants, the vast majority of reviews were negative on the company and its leadership. Leadership does not deliver on commission or bonuses promised, but this may be because leadership has run the company into the ground and used up all its cash. After two rounds of layoffs, 12 Binarians, greater than 60% of staff, which included all Sales staff, CFO and HR Recruiter were let go same day without prior notification. If by some chance they hire again, do not come to work here unless you are looking for short-term employment and have no other options available.

While we respect everyone’s right to an opinion, we do not respect this reviewer’s misrepresentation of facts and take this opportunity to set the record straight: Fact #1: The Marketing Department never solicited anyone to write a false review about Binary. Many of our talented employees who work hard day in and day out to help the company remain successful are outraged at the negative comments posted on this site. Statistics show that an unhappy employee (or former employee) will tell 4 to 5 people about their experience and a happy employee will tell 1. Marketing was simply asking those that were happy to add their reviews online too. Fact#2: The Company recently right-sized its corporate support staff to align with infrastructure standard of other businesses our size (less than 2% reduction in staff). This was a very difficult decision, but responsible and necessary. Many Government contractors have had to make these same decisions. Unlike other contractors, we have never reduced salaries, and we actually enhanced our benefit offering this year. Fact#3: Last year we reduced our investment in sales personnel because we were not seeing the necessary return on the investment. That’s just good business sense, not a reflection of our cash position. Our current sales team is proving that with the right sales skills and solutions, you can win opportunities, and Binary is poised to grow exponentially this year. Fact#3: Binary is solvent and on solid financial footing. We pay commissions that are earned and have a strong track record of paying discretionary bonuses when the company and employees perform. This year, the company is making a significant contribution to employee’s HSAs and will do an employer match to 401(k) accounts, benefits that many small to mid-size companies do not provide. Binary has been in business for 17 years and many of our employees have been with the company for 5 and 10+ years. The facts describe a business that makes smart decisions and invests in its workforce to ensure they succeed with customers and have opportunities to grow professionally.

Vantaggi

I’m very dismayed by some of the reviews posted for Binary Group. From my perspective, they have completely misrepresented Binary. I came to Binary with a 10+ year background in outside B2B sales. Binary took a big risk hiring me, because I did not have any knowledge or experience in Government sales. They believed in me because of my drive and proven track record in sales. The company provided excellent training and coaching to rapidly bring me up-to-speed on the Government market, contracting process, and our target markets. Armed with the right messaging and marketing support, I have been able to quickly close new sales. In all my years in sales, I have never seen any company provide this level of support to employees. The level of professionalism of the Leadership team and every Binarian exceeds any other organization where I have worked. I’m proud to have been given the opportunity to work for Binary and wanted to prove to myself and the company that hiring me was worth the risk. Binary wants everyone to feel good when they walk in the door, and I am energized every morning because of the culture they have created and support provided to everyone. Let’s face it, there are no perfect companies, and some are worse or better than others. I have worked for companies that have not paid commissions, had poor leadership, and left employees to fend for themselves. That is not the case at Binary. Binary leadership is so engaged with everyone, and has an open door policy for anyone to discuss their ideas or concerns, which is so rare to find. This is not micromanagement, but great support and mentoring that is provided throughout the company. Employees make a company successful, and Binary will continue to grow because they have some of the best people in the industry and invest in them to succeed. The opportunity I have been given at Binary is worth its weight in gold!

Svantaggi

Binary currently does not have sales related training manuals sales hires. I truly believe if this is added would be a huge benefit to the company and all new sales hires

Vantaggi

What I like best working at Binary is the direct, open nature of both management and staff, their willingness to take on tough subjects, and their willingness to innovate when current approaches just aren't working. I have been challenged to grow both professionally and personally, and the management team has been pretty open and direct in sharing their own growth and challenges.

Svantaggi

Quite frankly, the Federal consulting business has been extremely difficult in the past couple of years, and the management team has struggled with both strategy and execution. As a consequence, there has been some turnover, particularly with the non-delivery staff. Not only have these losses been hard emotionally, but these have made the environment more challenging, increased workload and stretched those who remain. Some of the back office processes, particularly in HR, have been sorely lacking and mostly neglected for years.
